In the DIOCESE OF YORK and the DEANERY OF HULL

ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for 2025

Our vision is “To Proclaim the Christian Message of Hope to the People of Drypool Parish”

INTRODUCTION

The Parish of Drypool , situated in the older eastern area of the City of Kingston upon Hull, is one of the largest parishes by population in the Hull Deanery. A Team Ministry was established in 1980.

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish is a charity directly registered with the Charity Commission (no. 1130341). There are three District Church Councils.

This report is published by the PCC in accordance with the requirements of the Church Representation Rules that ‘require an annual report on the proceedings of the Parochial Church Council and the activities of the parish generally’ to be received by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

As such, it is a legal document and much of its structure is prescribed. The PCC hopes it will be an interesting read and helpful as the Parish carries on its mission to the communities of East Hull. Reports on the activities of the three DCC’s, and other groups for which the PCC or DCC’s take direct responsibility, are detailed and cover a huge range of activities.

Further information about the various church activities can be obtained via the web site http://www.drypoolparish.org.uk

or the Parish Office at 139 Laburnum Avenue, Hull, HU8 8PA (01482 786553).

All three Churches have Facebook pages and our Privacy Notice is displayed on the web site.

The PCC would like to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly during this year to make our Churches a lively and vibrant community. Special thanks to all our Ministers (Ordained & Lay); to those who lead worship, to our Churchwardens, to all Council and committee members and to all our many other volunteers in so many areas. Thank you all so much!

The Church Councils

Parochial Church Council (PCC)

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Team Rector in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

The PCC is the legal employer of any lay workers in the Parish (currently Lois Thomas & Jodie Whetton).

As usual the PCC met each quarter (plus a short meeting to elect the officers).

During the year the PCC dealt with:

Standing items at each meeting:

District Church Councils (DCC)

Officially established DCC’s exist at all three churches and these dealt with many significant issues at a ‘local’ level.

The method of appointment of PCC & DCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC

& DCC’s comprise the Incumbent, the Team Vicar, the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery/Diocesan/General Synod (who serve on one DCC), other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting by those on the Electoral Roll or who are co-opted. Members of the

congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC and/or DCC’s.

Overall Perspective of the Parish

Thank you for taking the time to read our annual report!

In early 2025 Martyn Westby, our team vicar, retired, and we said thank you to him and Cathy and the family in a wonderful gathering to celebrate his ministry. Sadly, the year ended with the news that Martyn had to go into Dove House hospice, and soon after he was taken into glory. The parish has been deeply saddened by this news, and we continue to pray for Cathy and the family that the God of all comfort will continue to surround them with his presence, peace and strength.

Martyn’s retirement meant that our big priority as a parish was discerning what the main priorities would be for our next team vicar and seeking the person who God is calling to that role. The main focus of the role at St John’s is to develop a Sunday school, invest in discipling and supporting members of the church, and making the most of our community links to encourage people to come to Christ. At Victoria Dock the big priority is to make the church more visible and known locally, so that we can make Jesus known to more people on the Dock.

In the summer we appointed Rev Jonny Guy as our new team vicar, with responsibility for St John’s and Victoria Dock. We had a joyful service where Bishop Eleanor licensed him at St John’s in September. It turns out God knew what we would need 3 years ago when Jonny became our curate! We’re delighted that Jonny and Suzi and the children are staying in Drypool to continue serving the Lord with us here, and we’re praying that their ministry here bears much fruit for God’s glory.

As a team we had our regular parish day away in Bridlington in September, with teaching from Ash Carter, music led by David and Kat Cooper, and children cared for by Lois and Keith Thomas. Our Deeper teaching evenings on Wednesday nights covered different issues connected with feelings and mental health, such as anxiety, anger, guilt, shame and depression.

There are more details on each church in their individual report. Please pray that the word of the Lord would run ahead and be honored in Drypool in 2026 (2 Thessalonians 3:1)!

St Columba’s Report

“By God’s grace we are a family who follow Jesus and reach out to our community”

Here are some of the highlights at St Columba’s from 2025:

Leadership: every church needs a team of leaders who use their gifts to serve Jesus and set an example for the flock. St Columba’s has been blessed with many like this over the years, but we are at a stage where we need God to raise up new leaders for the years to come. We were grateful for 7 new people joining our DCC, and Wiggy Hall stepping up as churchwarden alongside Dale (with thanks to John Saunderson for serving in this way). The new DCC has been spending time discerning God’s vision for us as a church in the new few years, which will hopefully become clear in 2026.

Prayer: we depend on the Lord for everything in church life, and in 2025 we created 2 new opportunities to pray together. A group of us started gathering in Lent at 9:45-10:00am to pray before the service, and have continued to do this every Sunday – do come and join us! Jonny Guy also gathered a team to offer prayer ministry after communion services – this is a wonderful chance to share burdens and be prayed for, and we would love more people to take up the opportunity.

Faith: in Lent we had a sermon series and Lent groups on the book of Job, learning how in the face of suffering and unanswered questions we can trust the God who knows what we do not understand and rules what we cannot control. Our triplets and house groups continued to offer people a place to study God’s Word, pray, and share what God is doing in our lives.

Outreach: we have the best news in the world and want everyone to hear it! We continued to run a group each term for people exploring faith, and took part in the Hull TryPraying initiative in September. We also had a weekend when we could meet our mission partners, Miranda and Tim, and increased our giving towards their ministry. However, 2025 was a bit of a fallow year in our outreach, when we didn’t see as many new people come to faith and church for the first time.

I am reminded that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches (John 15:1-8). Apart from him, we can do nothing. Let’s make 2026 a year where we remain in him, and pray that we will bear much fruit this year for his glory.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025


The Churchwardens report on the Fabric and Contents for St Columba’s

Church - The flat roof to the North side of the church was completed following consultations from 2024. The Church kitchen tap was replaced along with the waste system due to excess leaking, with Kesselman plumbing completing the work to a high standard

The church kitchen dishwasher was replaced due to the previous one breaking, this was fitted by Dale Curristin. Thank you to Lucy Curristin for her work with the decorating of the church as well as the entrance porch throughout the year with flowers and pictures.

The external stop tap close to the baby unit was changed due to the previous one not working, with Aquamen completing a very tidy and professional job.

Thank you to Julie Rose for her hard work colleting photos and getting the photo board looking great.

Church hall - The Church Hall was painted in March including the walls and architrave. Thank you to everyone that helped with that over the 2 days, everyone who came put so much effort into it, and the hall looks great. Thank you to Mark for replacing the broken glass in the church hall on 2 occasions.

The church hall kitchen cooker extraction hood was replaced due to the previous one no longer working.

Scout Hut - The scout hut was decommissioned following a health and safety assessment of the building. As a result of this we found ourselves short of room for the Youth groups. Thank you to Lucy and Dale Curristin for the effort to make the Dalton room fit for use for various groups, by moving furniture in and redecorating the room.

The Scout hut and baby unit had the electricity disconnected due to unnecessary payments being made to the standing charge and the buildings not being used. Thank you to Richard Liversedge for his hard work getting these units disconnected.

Grounds - The grounds have been kept in good order by volunteers, with a special thank you to Dean Rose and Julie Rose

General - The church wardens would like to thank the Friday morning cleaning group and everyone who has helped to keep the church buildings and the Garden and grounds clean and in good order throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who gave help during extra services, including funerals, school services and Christenings.

Dale Curristin and Virginia (Wiggy) Hall, Churchwardens

St John’s Report

We began the year advertising for a new Team Vicar, and I’m grateful to God and everyone involved in the

process that we discerned it was the Lord’s will for me to continue my ministry here in Drypool. I’d like to thank everyone who stepped up joyfully and sacrificially during the Vacancy and who continues to do so, both those who we see like our fantastic Wardens and those whose generous work goes unnoticed.

In July we celebrated 100 years of St John’s church with a fantastic tea party (see photo) which gathered a lot of the church family and the wider

community. In recent years we’ve been gradually growing in number by God’s grace, and so in September we moved our Sunday services downstairs to give us the capacity we now need. It was great to see a big turnout at the Parish Day Away in Bridlington, and that the less-than-sunny weather didn’t put people off going to the beach! In October we got the pool out for some baptisms including S, C and K who have been with us for a good few months now, and it was wonderful to celebrate what Jesus has done and continues to do in their lives. The run up to Christmas saw various well-attended services and events, culminating in a joyful Christmas Day service with most of our church family there to begin that special day worshipping Immanuel together.

We’re very thankful to God for all the young people he has blessed us with, so please pray that the soonto-be-launched Sunday School will be a blessing to the leaders and kids. And please pray for more and more people from the community – those we already have links with, and those we don’t – to come to St John’s and come to know the Jesus who knows and loves them.

Victoria Dock Church Report

We began the year advertising for a new Team Vicar, and I’m grateful to God and everyone involved in the process that we discerned it was the Lord’s will for me to continue my ministry here in Drypool. I’d like to thank everyone who stepped up joyfully and sacrificially during the Vacancy and who continues to serve to make VDC the warm and wonderful church that we are.

I thought the panel interview with the Bishop would be the most daunting thing I had to undergo this year, but no sooner than I was appointed was I faced with a grilling from Geoff Howlett – I just about came out intact.

In the last few months, we’ve been working to increase our publicity and profile on the Dock. I’m now doing monthly assemblies in the Primary School and have a regular column in The Citadel to offer a reflection and advertise upcoming church activities. After a few years away we were delighted to be back in Victoria House for a wonderful pre-Christmas singing afternoon (see photo), and we hope to be back there before too long. Our biggest event was the Carol Service where we welcomed many guests, and even a minor medical incident at the end (he’s fine now) didn’t detract from a fantastic evening. We also recently had another Quiz which was well attended by church and others.

In January we ran a 321 evangelistic course, offering the chance to ‘explore life according to Jesus’, and we continue to pray for H to come to see Jesus for who he really is and put her trust in him. Please also pray for our visibility to grow – through our new banner, the Citadel, and most importantly word of mouth. I firmly believe there are spiritually-open people living on the Dock who would find a wonderful home at VDC, and pray that this year many will find us and most importantly find Jesus.

Children's and Youth Work

“Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and grey, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.” (Psalm 71:17-18)

The Lord continues to bless our parish with many chances to declare his power to the next generation, and to teach our youth about him. Here are some highlights:

Thank you to everyone who helps with these ministries, and to Margaret Liversedge, Mel Whetton and Marlene Harrison who have helped us to do the vital work of safeguarding that goes with them.

THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025


How are our finances?

The Receipts and Payments accounts are prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations and independently examined by an accountant.

Both the total parish receipts, including restricted funds, and the total spend were significantly up on 2024 owing in great part to the incorporation of the St John’s Project funds into the DCC accounts. Unrestricted funds increased by £1.4K and restricted funds decreased by £8.6k giving and overall operating deficit of £7K. Given a major spend on roof works at St Columba’s this was a good result.

The existing energy contracts came up for renewal from October and advantages were taken to secure better terms for the future.

Particular comments were:

St Columba

St John

Victoria Dock

The Freewill Offer to the Diocese was increased to £59,400 and was paid in full.

As part of the Diocesan programme “Living Christ’s Story” and the need to have sustainable finances, the parish was urged to pay the whole attributed cost of Dave, Martyn (and now Jonny) by 2026 and that target has been met.

[This is calculated as whole costs of stipends, NI, pension and housing but the Parish ‘benefits’ from a special grant from national church funds as Drypool is classed as a ‘low-income community’. This grant is ‘allocated’ so is not shown in the accounts.]

Our Reserves Policy

The PCC maintains a small amount of reserves, as DCCs are responsible for most of the receipts and payments made in the parish on a day-to-day basis. Given that Victoria Dock DCC rent accommodation most of the current risk relating to possible unexpected maintenance falls to St. Columba’s and St John’s DCCs. Whilst their unrestricted funds vary considerably during the year, restricted or designated reserves are maintained relating to possible fabric maintenance by both Churches. It is policy to invest generally in the Central Board of Finance’s funds, although in some cases smaller funds have been invested elsewhere. Overall within the whole parish and each Church the total unrestricted fund balances should cover up to 4- 6 months of intended unrestricted expenditure which currently is the case.

Safeguarding

The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and adults at risk. No Serious Incident occurred during the year that should have been reported to the Charity Commissioners. Consideration is given and arranged as necessary for appropriate training with the required DBS checks and confidential declarations completed.

Each Church has an appointed Safeguarding Representative (contact details on Parish Website):


The Church in the City - Report on the Deanery Synod

The Synod consists of members of all the licensed clergy/lay workers and elected lay representatives of the churches in Hull & District. Licenced Readers are invited to all Synod meetings. During the year it had 3 inperson meetings at St John’s Newland, St Martin’s and St Andrew’s Sutton Park. During the year there were two Deanery Services held at the Ascension and St Philip’s.

Our agendas were designed to carry forward aspects of the Deanery Plan agreed earlier.

All the meetings received information on the “Heart for Hull” initiative which is now up and running with Gillian Shepherd as the Heart for Hull Enabler leading.

In addition, updates on Heart for Hull activities we have had presentations and discussions on:

Various workshops have taken place including:

We have significantly increased our communications:

All of these are fully accessible to anyone, not just synod members.
